Abstract

Colon cancer surveillance is a critical component in managing colorectal cancer, with a significant impact on long-term survival rates. Surveillance involves regular monitoring of individuals who have been treated for colorectal cancer or are at high risk of developing it, using tools such as colonoscopy, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Early detection of recurrence or new lesions through surveillance allows for timely intervention, which can prevent the progression of the disease and improve treatment outcomes. Research indicates that adherence to surveillance guidelines reduces mortality rates and enhances long-term survival. Personalized surveillance plans tailored to individual risk factors further optimize outcomes, though challenges such as patient adherence and procedural risks need to be addressed. Overall, effective colon cancer surveillance plays a pivotal role in extending survival and improving patient quality of life.
